    My router is in the corner of my office which is in a corner of my house. This makes

    connecting to it from some areas of my house a little fickle. Specifically, I built

    a magic mirror which has a Raspberry Pi (4 Model B) inside of it, and has 

    <glacius:link page="wifi-reconnect-script">severe issues connecting to my router</glacius:link>.

</p>

<p>

    I finally decided to stop the madness and bought a TP-Link WiFi extender. It was easy

    to set up and seems to work okay. At the very least it's significantly easier for

    the magic mirror to connect to.

    My router has two bands, which I named <em>Microcosm</em> and <em>Macrocosm</em>.

    The extender connects to the router and creates two new access points, which I

    named <em>Microcosm Link</em> and <em>Macrocosm Link</em>.
